Money That Does Buy Most Things - Poem by Francis Duggan

Some people never seem to worry at allA big problem to one to another seems smallYou may be one of the materially wealthy of the townBut despite all of your money at times you feel mentally down

But money is quite important for to give it fair dueAnd that you are better off unhappy with it than without it happens to be trueWith plenty money up the social ladder you will climb farBut it is only the poor who know who their friends are

Though money is quite important it does not guaranteeYou of stress and worry that you will be freeAmong wealthy people few happy of mindContentment more abundant among the middle class kind

Some of the town's wealthiest people do not sleep well at nightThough finnancially they are doing more than all rightBecause of profits being slightly down from last year they worry and stressMoney that does buy most things cannot buy happiness.
